3 properties of solids
strong forces of attraction, vibrate, regular lattice

weak forces of attraction, move freely
2 properties of gases
very weak forces of attraction, move very freely
what happens to particles during melting, boiling and sublimation?
move faster, weakening the forces
what happens to particles during condensing, freezing and sublimation?
move slower so get closer
what is boiling?

what are giant ionic lattices?
giant three-dimensional lattice structure held together by the strong attraction between oppositely charged ions
do giant ionic lattices have a high or low melting and boiling point?
high
Can ionic compounds conduct electricity?
when they are not solids
what is covalent bonding?
the bond between two non-metals formed by a shared pair of electrons between the atoms
what are electrostatic attractions in?
covalent bonding
what are electrostatic attractions?
the strong attraction between the shared pair of electrons and the nuclei involved
what is a simple molecular structure?
consists of molecules in which the atoms are joined by strong covalent bonds
Why do simple molecules have low melting points and boiling points?
they have very strong covalent bonds between atoms but weak intermolecular forces
what is relative molecular mass?
total relative atomic masses form all atoms shown in its chemical formula
which is giant covalent structure?
contains lots of non-metal atoms, each joined to adjacent atoms by covalent bonds forming a giant lattice
giant covalent structures are.....
solids
giant covalent structures have .......... melting and boiling points because ............
high, strong covalent bonds
what are allotropes?
different atomic and molecular arrangements of the same element
why is diamond hard?
each carbon atom is joined to 4 other carbon atoms with strong covalent bonds
Why does diamond have a high melting point?
giant covalent structure means that there are lots of strong covalent bonds
Why does diamond not conduct electricity?
all outer shell electrons are used in covalent bonds, there are no delocalised electrons to conduct electricity
2 uses of diamond
cutting tools, jewellery
why is graphite soft and slippery?
made up of layers of carbon atoms held together which have weak forces of attraction between them
Why does graphite have a high melting point?
each carbon atom has strong covalent bonds with the three other carbon atoms in a giant covalent structure
Why does graphite conduct electricity?
only three electrons are used in the covalent bonds, the fourth electron is delocalised and free to move
2 uses of graphite
lubricant, electrodes for electrolysis
why is C60 fullerene soft?
each carbon atom is joined to three others so there are weak intermolecular forces between the molecules
why does C60 fullerene have low boiling points?
each carbon atom is joined to three others so there are weak intermolecular forces between the molecules
why do covalent compounds not conduct electricity?
they don't have any delocalised electrons that are free to move and conduct charge
what is a metallic lattice?
giant three-dimensional lattice structure of positive ions surrounds by a sea of delocalised electrons
How are metal atoms held together?
metallic bonding
what is the sea of delocalised electrons in a metallic lattice?
when the metal atoms lose electrons to become ions
